Poor delivery

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I'm very pissed with your delivery company. The past two deliveries, the packages were left on my steps, where it is clearly stated in bold red "NO!

PKGS ON STEPS/WALK". I almost tripped on these packages.

If I happen to trip, I'll be filing legal action. For these reasons I'll no longer be buying from your company.Don't

User's recommendation: Don't buy!

Light In The Box - Sent me wrong size tankini

I really like the tankini I ordered but if you observe the order I wanted a size XL and I received a size L. Can I re order in a size XL and do I return the one I received today?

Pre-order question

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Found a solar-powered wall projection light; unsure how it attaches.
  • - The agent asked for payment to provide info; refund terms unclear.

Yesterday I found an unusual product on Light In The Box's website. It is an item that seems to attach to a wall, operates off solar energy, and projects a picture on the wall and is called '2 Pcs Outdoor Solar Waterproof Iron Hollow Eagle Projection Wall Lights, Decorative LED Lanterns for Fence, Pathway, Steps, Staircase, Porch, Yard Ambient.' I wanted to reach the company to verify how the device attached to a wall.

I sent my question to customer service and an agent responded by clarifying the question. Then I received a notice asking for my credit card number and implied that an agent would respond to my question only if I paid! It said the fee was 'refundable' but didn't specify the terms and conditions for refundability. I have never paid a company to provide me information regarding a purchase and do not intend to start now!

The reason for the question is that the ad for the product was inadequate! I'm not paying for their inadequacies!

Too bad, it looked like a neat product, but giving them money to answer a simple question that should have been provided is not my idea of customer service. And, I'm not going to deal with a company that has such low esteem for their customers, expecting me to pay for their errors!

Pros:
  • Creativr artistic products
Cons:
  • Lack of respect for their customers an unwillingness to help their customers

Preferred solution: A simple answer about a product they are selling. A desription that should have been provided on their website so customers understand how (if?) their product works.

User's recommendation: Buy from companies that like their customers, not disdain them!

That wasn’t the company you contacted. That was malware/pop-up to a third party subscription site for consumer questions. LITB will answer questions on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Ive had a really positive experience shopping on LightInTheBox. What stood out first is the huge variety of products, you can find everything from clothing and accessories to home items all in one place, which makes it super convenient.

The website is also easy to navigate, with clear categories and helpful filters, so it doesnt feel overwhelming even with so many options.

Shipping was faster than I expected, and I appreciated being able to track my order the whole time.

When I had a small question about sizing, customer service responded fairly quickly and helped me figure it out without any hassle. Overall, it feels like a reliable place to shop if youre looking for good deals and a wide selection, and Id definitely use it again.

User's recommendation: I’d recommend taking a moment to check product details and sizing charts carefully, but overall it’s a great place to find good deals and a wide variety of items.

AI Highlights
  • - Fit is spot on; usual size fits.
  • - Soft, stretchy material moves with you.
  • - Broad shoulders feel unrestricted; neck comfy; affordable.

I was worried about the fit, but its spot on! I ordered my usual size, and it fits like a glove.

The material is soft and stretchy, so it moves with me. I have broad shoulders, and this top doesnt restrict my movement at all. The crew neck is comfortable and doesnt dig in. Ive recommended this to all my friends.

Its affordable, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. I cant say enough good things about it.

Great experience

AI Highlights
  • - Clean, easy-to-navigate site with filters.
  • - Wide product variety; decor, dress, and phone accessories.
  • - 12-day Karachi shipping with tracking.

Had a great experience shopping on LightInTheBox. The website is clean and easy to navigate, with tons of filters that actually help you find what you need.

Product variety is insane I grabbed home decor, a dress, and phone accessories in one order. Shipping to Karachi took 12 days, which beat my expectations for the price, and tracking was accurate the whole time. When I had a sizing question, customer service replied in under a day and was super helpful.

Quality matched the photos and everything arrived safely packaged. For unique items and solid prices, Ill definitely order again.

User's recommendation: very much
